Painted Stairways...to Heaven?

Lately I've been seeing so many photos of painted, stenciled, and typography filled staircases. I think this is such a fantastic opportunity to add personality and style to such an overlooked part of the home. What are your thoughts? Is this something you would consider for your own home? Which look is your favorite?!? :)


I adore this one!


How fun to write the words to your favorite song down your stairs? You best make sure you truly love the song, it'd always be stuck in your head!! hehe! :)

(Ok, maybe I'm cheating on this one! I think it's carpet. But it could be painted!)



And how can this one not make you smile?





Here is a more subtle way to brighten up your staircase without being too overwhelming.


Some random numbers and favorite welcoming words lend an eclectic feel.


Simply numbering the stairs going up is a great way to keep things classic but still different than normal.


Even a great wallpaper print can be used to freshen up your staircase.

I can't even pick a favorite, I love them all! If I had a staircase I would just change them out all the time! I mean, it's just paint, right?! :)

Union Jack Lovin'

Ok, maybe it's due to all the commotion going on about some wedding about to commence, eh-hem I think they're calling it the Royal wedding, but I've been totally obsessed with the Union Jack symbol! Ok, I'm pretty much always in love with it, just thought this was a good excuse to have to write a post on it! :)

I totally A-D-O-R-E how this room has been styled! All the white is such a fantastic way to really allow all the bright colors really pop, but I also love how they kept all the white furniture very detailed to keep some added visual interest! And the design detail of the rug adds such feminine detail, without being too overwhelming. And of course, there's a little bit of "Jack" thrown in there! I even love the solid red canvas, and how super easy that would be to make yourself!

Bright White Spaces

Some of these spaces contain great pops of color while others are very simple and neutral, however, there's no denying they are all beautiful spaces!


I love the bright punches of purple in this space! And the great lightning!


I love the look of a white glass front door! Such an inviting foyer! If only I could see the rest of this home!



What a super feminine, French inspired flat!



So simple, and shiny but very glamazzon!



Ahhh! Do you think the owner of this bathroom would be upset if they found me hanging out in this beautiful tub?!?!



LOVE this sofa!



I love the great pops of color the fresh potted plants bring to this white kitchen! And super easy to cook with fresh herbs when they're right in front of you!



On a side note, Happiest of birthdays to my li'l bro Gabriel!!!! 21 Baby!!! :)

AHHH!!! What a great idea and great use of space!! I love this! They've basically created a whole new room in their house!



I'm so looking forward to spring and all the fun time spent outdoors that comes with it!
